  Where to find Kramer Wetzel…

  Gemini

  Happy Birthday! Anyway, moving forward? I kept thinking about the archetypical image of three witches over a boiling cauldron, adding ingredients, like Eye of Newt. There’s a mischievous Gemini brew cooking, even now. It’s not quite ready, and won’t be ready for a few more days, couple of weeks, really, but in Gemini time, that might look like a few days, at best. Here’s the deal: enjoy the birthday. Enjoy the holiday, every Gemini birthday should be a holiday. Then? Take no action. Maybe throw some more stuff into that boiling cauldron, but let it sit and simmer a while longer. It needs to coalesce, coagulate, and coexist in order to be ready as a potion. It’s not ready yet. Now is not the time. Let it simmer.

  Cancer

  There’s a kind of stage acting that I tend to find annoying: the over-the-top caricature. It’s the gross exaggeration of features, emoting loudly and longly in way that seems too large to be contained in the character him (or her) self. Waving of arms, stretching a face into improbable contortions, just hamming it up for the audience, and usually, for comic effect. I find it annoying. While I find it disturbing, and usually out of sync with the rest of the play? There are times when this is called for, and one character actor used it quite effectively. But usually? That over-the-top acting is disconcerting, discomfiting, and just bad form. As Venus and Jupiter get closer in Cancer, the sign of the crab? As we approach that conjunction? Remember my diatribe about over-acting, stretching the face into a rictus of emotions, playing to large audiences when there is none? Remember that it looks bad. Cancer, the Moon Children? Don’t want to look bad, now do you?

  The Leo

  I had to sit through a board meeting; it was a not-for-profit group I was tangentially related to. I sat there, fiddled with a notebook, took a some notes, doodled a little, and I demurred on most questions. “Shrug. Don’t know.” I think I seconded a motion or two, but that was about it. I stayed uncharacteristically quiet. I have valid observations. There were points I could’ve made, but realistically, no one wants to hear from a junior member with long hair. I stayed quiet, nodded, shook my head, made notes, scratched marks on the paper, voted with the majority, and then? Got out of there. I’ve lost track, but I’ve sworn, repeatedly, I won’t serve on any more boards like this, no matter how much I’m needed. Then I give in, if only for a moment of weakness, and there I am, doing something I swore I would never do. I like serving the community; I don’t like the interpersonal politics that get dredged up. I avoid it whenever possible. The Leo: follow my lead, do as I did. If you are pressed into service in a public role? Can’t get out of it? Don’t say anything. Fiddle with the notepad and pencil. Nod, shake your head, and maybe second a motion. Remember: a motion to adjourn is always in order.

  Virgo

  Shakespeare scholarship is fun for me. In part, it’s all conjecture. In part, it depends on how the textual interpretations work, and in part, it’s performance. There’s history, pageantry, emotions, and more. At its best? It is in the act of performance, a momentary spark, that instance when the actor is the character, and the stage, effects, lights, and so forth? None of that matters when it is done well. One or two of the best versions I’ve seen, on stage, were “shoestring” productions. With almost no budget, the plays were acted with just a handful of actors, a troupe doubling and tripling the roles. Fun, for me as an audience member, because the joy the actors brought to the stage. A little research, something as simple as a Wikipedia entry about the play, and then? A willing suspension of disbelief? Magic occurs. Doesn’t cost much, the players have great fun, and the audience enjoys a spectacle. Most important? Doesn’t cost much. “Free” and “cheap” go a long way for quality Virgo entertainment.

  Libra

  I’ve grown up, out loud, online. Been doing this for many long years. Means I’ve “grown up,” online, and therefore, “out loud.” As I’ve aged, I learned a thing or two because I’ve seen a thing or two, and I’ve made a mistake or two. I learn best through trial and error, and mostly, error. I’m here to help gentle Libra with a quick guideline for the next few weeks: one thing. Do one thing. Schedule yourself for one outing, one goal, a single target for each day. No more. Not three things, not ten things, and then, an overwhelming sense of urgency as nothing gets done because there’s too much to do. Simplify this: one thing. One goal, one target, one destination, a single item on the “to do” list. There’s method to my madness, and the idea of a long list? That freezes up the lovely Libra brain, interrupts the thought process, and the way goals are accomplished. List one task per day. Maybe just one task. Look: it’s a list, a list of “1.”

  Scorpio

  With Mars in opposition? Three-quarter moon? Yeah, that spells out a certain unhappiness with the way things are, in Scorpio. Doesn’t matter what it is, if they would just change it, then it would be OK. Problem being? As soon as “they” change whatever it is that is making Scorpio so discontented? As soon as that changes, well, then it’s something else. Mars, mostly, is to blame for this irritation. While the outcome doesn’t depend on Mars and its relative placements, the current conditions, and those conditions for the foreseeable Scorpio future? There’s an insistent urge that everyone else should move faster. “Hurry up! No, you’re going too fast!” See the problem?

  Sagittarius

  While the Sun is in Gemini, this scope ends when Venus and Jupiter align, conjunct. That’s going to push a certain amount of emotional content to the surface of Sagittarius. Sad? Mad? Both? Someone hurt us? We hurt someone? Whine about it? Maybe not the best idea, as in, a few days later, it will look like we were whiny little snits, and the issue wasn’t worthy of our attention. “But he/she/they/them/it hurt me!” Stop complaining. In a few days, it won’t be the big deal we make it out to be. Today? Big deal. Next week? Maybe not so much. Take the long view, Sagittarius, take the long view. “But he/she/they/them/it hurt my feelings!”

  Capricorn

  One long-term client always looks at my life, and swears, “I want to be a Sagittarius when I come back!” I make it look easy. I make it look simple, refined, raw, royal, and rare. Hint: a lot of work goes into making this look easy. That’s also what Capricorn must guard against, and this only gets worse, as in, “That’s looks easy; I want that.” The other side of whatever it is that you find your Capricorn self on, at this moment? The other side looks better. “You make it look so easy!” Yes, yes I do, but I’ve spent years working hard, making mistakes, screwing up in the best — or worst — way possible only to arrive at this point. Sure, anyone who isn’t Capricorn can make it look easy. But is it? Look: a lot of hard work goes into making this look easy.

  Aquarius

  The anger subsides, but there’s the residual angst, anxiety, and anguish. Might feel a little guilty. But both guilt and anger are emotions that there is precious little time for, these days. Can’t feel too much of either. It’s OK to flirt with a little guilt, or be mildly disappointed with an issue, but it’s not a time for the full-on “rage against the dying light” kind of scene. It’s luxury that Aquarius has no time for. That, and “I feel so bad for what I did,” again the consumed with guilt scenario is equally debilitating, and there’s not a lot of room for either. Not too much in either direction. The temptation is there, to get sucked in, then drowning in the emotional content, but if you’ll wait a hot minute? You’ll find the these extremes of emotional content do you no good, and are, as we come to discover, largely underserved.

  Pisces

  Has the term, “You just need to calm down,” ever worked? Has it ever spread calm, compassion, and blessed silence? I’m unsure of the actual statistics, but as an example? Pisces telling us to calm down? That might not work. Best way to spread a little calm in the Life of Pisces is to exude it yourself. You can, you know? You can be calm in the face of the absolute insane crap unfolding in front of you. “People are nuts!” Observed? Yes, yes they are, and yes, you are correct. But the way to answer that kind of crazy and crazy-making behavior? Be the calm. Listen. Don’t react. Don’t act. Take it easy, and let them come to you. Be the calm spot in the center, rather than adding to the fray.

  Aries

  For years, bandanas were part of my “uniform,” in that, I would wear a head covering. Usually? It was a bandana, just a cheap square of cloth, sometimes colorful, some festooned with characters and images, but lately, just plain scarfs. The reasoning, goes way back to the beginning of this career, when I would use an actual headset for talking on the phone. The bandana kept the wires and microphone boom out of my hair. Or kept my hair out of the wires. The style choice was one based upon actual function, and as an Aries knows? Style should follow function. The cheapest of bandana serves as a touchstone for this week in the land of Aries. It’s a simple, effective way to keep extraneous details out of our face, away from the problem, and lets us focus on what’s most important. Keeps the wires out of the hair, keeps stray hairs away from our face, and keeps everything packaged up nice, neat. Which is what we need. Real, or imagined? A bandana works.

  Taurus

  My career was built on “metaphysical studies,” so I’ve spent several dozen years immersed in one philosophical mind game or another. I’ve chased down religion, religious masters, gurus, and thought-leaders in most every topic. Certain precepts I use? I’ve liberally borrowed from zen/buddhist hallowed hallways. The relative position of a couple of planets, let’s look at Mars (in Taurus), then Saturn and Neptune, (in Aries)? That leads to a quick anger, and if you are willing to sit still long enough, that anger gives way to sadness. But with Mars and his pressure? Sometimes it’s hard to sit still long enough to uncover the true source of the irritation. Acting first, and then thinking about it later? Trust me, as I learned the hard way, that doesn’t work in our enlightened best interest.
